316 Teacher (2/2)

Ezequiel and the others focused on Gabriel when Zatiel spoke those words. However, contrary to what they expected, the Second Prince kept his respectful posture and spoke with a calm voice.

”If you refuse to take the test, then you must leave the Magi World. If you agree to leave within one hundred years, we will give you the coordinates of a Middle World that have already been pacified. The Scientia Kingdom will also protect you and your people until you all leave this world.”

The words of the Second Prince surprised everyone in the room. The Scientia Kingdom was the strongest and oldest power in the Magi World, and they could destroy any organization. Nonetheless, their methods were always so peaceful and well thought.

Zatiel sighed, and a small smile appeared on his face.

”You people really know how to stop enemies from being born. However, I am sure that behind that peaceful side, there is a monster that would erase any trace of anyone they consider a threat.”

Gabriel remained quiet, but he knew very well the truth in Zatiel's words. The Scientia Kingdom always does its best not to create enemies, but the moment one of them appears, they attack with crushing might, one so great that Beings of Laws can fall in front of it.

”Well, I actually like your way of doing things. Ok, if the test takes place inside the Magi World, I will take it. Just tell me the date, and I will go to the Scientia Kingdom as soon as I can.”

A wide smile appeared on Gabriel when he heard the words of the Neo-Demon. He knew how important Zatiel's help was for his father.

However, the biggest reaction to Zatiel's words did not come from him. The Fourth Princess practically jumped from happiness and her eyes filled with light as she approached the Neo-Demon.

Gabriel sighed when he saw the behavior of her sister. He had to put his hand over her shoulder to restrain her.

”I guess your sister came for another reason.” Zatiel did not like the way the woman was looking at him. It was like a kid who found a good toy and could not help to play with it.

”I came for a simple reason. I want you to become my teacher!.”

Zatiel was surprised by the request of the woman. Before he could respond, Vania spoke again.

”I know people like you don't take students because there is no gain in doing so, but you can consider my request as repaying the favor my brother made you.”

The Neo-Demon was surprised by the words of the woman. When he stared at the Second Prince, he saw how this one sighed and nodded to him, signaling she had his approval to collect that favor.

Zatiel indeed intended to turn down the request of the woman. There was no gain in helping her, and there was nothing she could offer to him. However, the moment she mentioned the favor the Neo-Demon owned to Gabriel, things became more complicated.

”Ahhh, the help your brother provided me back then was of great assistance to defeat a powerful foe. I can take you as a disciple, but I warn you, that is the farthest our relationship will reach.” Zatiel was aware that his power and abilities would draw people to him. Many would want to form a romantic relationship with him, but the Neo-Demon did not desire to form new ones.

His emotions were more susceptible at the beginning of his path when his soul was still weaker, but now trying to stir his heart was almost impossible.

Instead of disappointment, what appeared on Vania's face when she heard those words was distaste.

”Even if you were not an old man who had lived millions of years, you still wouldn't be my type. The only one in here that remotely interests me is...” Vania looked around the room. Her sight landed on the area where Ezequiel was standing.

However, soon it was obvious she was not looking at the white-haired genius, but the one that was by his side, Zitra.

The Fourth Princess threw a coquettish smile to the Magus and winked.

Everyone was stunned by the behavior of the woman. Now they understood what she meant by Zatiel not being her type.

The Neo-Demon was truly surprised by this turn of events, and the next moment he began to laugh.

”Hahahaha, I guess I was overestimating my charm. Vania Rebellion, you are now the disciple of Zatiel Daybreak.”
